Varietal: Almost entirely Syrah with a bit of Mourvedre and Grenache
Decant: Had been open for forty-five minutes prior to us arriving.
Location: The Vineyard in McLean - Ledge Vineyards Tasting on 11/18/2015.
Tasting Note:
Color: Light purplish red.
Nose/Smell: I do love the nose. Lots of black peppercorn, earthy. Is a little tight and needs time to open up.
Palate/Taste: Moderate tannins and moderate body. Slight minerality in the finish. A little tight and furry.
Opinion: Very interesting vineyard with sandy soil and is owned by Mark Adams. This wine had its ups and downs. Definite up? The nose, I love the pepper, earthy notes it had going on. Downside? The minerality in the finish. All in all a great wine that needs at least a few years to fully develop and could easily cellar for ten.
Dates: Now till 2025
Rating: 91
